Our Favorite Local Parks in Moab: Swanny, Rotary & Lions Park

Moab isn’t just about vast red rock landscapes and adventure activities. It’s also home to small, beautiful city parks perfect for relaxing after a big day. Whether you’re looking for playgrounds shaded by cottonwoods, a quiet picnic by the river, or a local spot to stretch your legs, Moab’s parks offer a peaceful contrast to its rugged surroundings. Here are a few of our favorite local parks to explore right in town.

Moab Rotary Park

Rotary Park is an extremely unique park that is great for visitors of all ages. The park is home to a large discovery area of musical instruments, creating the perfect play environment for young kids; or a great opportunity for the inner-child in us all to shine through. There is also a small amphitheater and basketball court located on the east end of the park.

Swanny Park

Located just off Main Street, Swanny Park is a great spot to stop for a quick picnic lunch. Towering trees line the edge of the park, the acres of lush green grass, and children's playground make for an ideal place to run around and have fun! The park is also conveniently placed next to the Moab Aquatic and Recreation Center, allowing easy access to the pools and fitness facility.

Lions Park & Bike Trailhead

Positioned where Hwy 191 crosses over the Colorado River, and where "River Road" Hwy 128 diverges up the canyon, this park offers a walkway over the river, some cool grass and shade and a little history of the area.


Paved bike paths parallel the two highways and converge as they head into town, making this an ideal trailhead for e-bikes, scooters or jogging with a view.

Old City Park

Located on the outer part of town, Old City Park is often quiet; making it a fantastic place to sit back and enjoy the afternoon sun. With opportunities for disk golf, volleyball, horseshoe toss, and a playground - this park is perfect for families of all ages. A duck pond is also on site and makes for a fun day outside.
